Placing solar panels instantly gives batteries

I had just crafted 3 solar panels, put them in a chest to save up a few more, then figured I might as well place them to get some more batteries. As seen in the recording, the solar panels (just crafted, never placed before) instantly had 2 batteries each which I could pick up. When I picked up a solar panel and placed it again it had another 2 batteries ready made. I could not reproduce the bug with the same solar panels the next morning (after they had been placed outside all night)

I already had 5 other solar panels placed on the farm, a few of which had gotten stuck, might be related?

also, I never left the solar panels in the chest, I put them in, then changed my mind an took them out without leaving the chest interface

Hi hi! @sterile zodiac Thanks for sharing your report here! Did you tried to wait the battery to finished producing battery? And can you take the battery produced by it?

[sterile zodiac]

I did not wait for them to produce more as I had to use them for an attraction

Thank for sharing it here! Did you have any idea what might the triggered to this bug? 😲

no clue. i believe it was shortly after beginning the day. i had gotten stuff from my barrels, put it in the chest and went to collect my panels cuz they’re right next to the cellar. they were normal, i think with 1 finished each, and as i collected them they became infinite batteries 😂 the only unusual thing i did was i had just skipped a bunch of in games days really quickly. like, sleeping right after i woke up. 🤷‍♀️
